Well, my corn succomed to a major disease today. :hit The disease is a horrible malady known as "Cow Eatem UP Disease". Yep, one of my neighbors cows (4 cows) decided to come over and have breakfast this morning. I had just had a talk with this very neighbor over his horses in my pasture. I only...

Thank Yall for the information on potatoes. I do believe I get it now.

I am growing russet potatoes and blue potatoes. I just aint getting it. I am not understanding when to "hill" them or what exzactly what that means. Any ideas? One of my russet plants bloomed the other day. :( Mjd

Sorry to hear that. Well, go to ISONS and order yourself some muscadine vines. You will have fruit in 3 years and then you can start makeing wine. Isons is THE place for your muscadine needs.

Well, so far I have a bunch of little bitty ones about the size of the tip of my pinky finger. When they start to grow like the one in the picture that is actually growing I am going to put them on a piece of wood. I dont know iffin thats a good or bad thing to do but I cant see as it would hurt...

This is my first year to grow anything much less watermelons, but I did notice that once it got really hot here, the vines really took off. I dont know what yalls tempature is like where you are at. Is it in the 90's yet?

Did they sprout up at all?

Its very well composted, dirt like texture, unlike the piles I have composting. One thing, it took longer for the plants to start growing fast than it did with just plain dirt with manure mixed in. I like good dirt & manure better than I like just old manure.

Very nice garden, what year is the ole blue Ford?

Pictures please.

It was an experiment to see if they would grow out of nothing but horse manure. The horse manure had been sitting there for a couple of year. There are ears of corn on them now. Next spring, I will probably plant 100 or more with amended soil. That particlular watermelon patch is nothing but...

Thank You Thank You Its not that much work, you just start the tractor, hook up the correct implement (brush hog) and get to mowing. Mjd

It is possible to cook them without causing them to slime. It is discussed in detail on another garden forum.

Mike Its a 1x6. I have considered leaving it. Do you think it will harm it? I know some of the watermelons are going to wind up in the dirt in between rows of other vegetables. I tried to get all the vines going in the direction as that one in the picture but some of them went towards the...

Here are two shots of one of my baby watermelons. Note the golf ball Here is a baby Okra Here are some baby Squash

Thank You. As far as the outside chicken area I dont use anything, those girls have just scratched all the grass out of it. Quick too. Inside I use straw. I clean it frequently. Both of my neighbors keep chickens and their chicken areas are horrible. Predator get to those guys chickens every...

Thank You.

Thank You. I confirmed your post by doing a google image search (wonderful tool that) on asparagus beans. I do appreciate it. They do taste good.

You know, I thought eggzactly that after he had already learned his name. Just one of my "here's your sign" moments. I have to have at least one of those a day or the earth will no longer be flat and will become round. :cool:

Here is one of my watermelon patches with tomatoes posing in the background Some Okra plants (with weeds posing as well :rolleyes:) Some russet potatoe plants that I have absolutely no idea if I am doing right Some of the blue potatoe plants that are trying to recover from being...
